The Lucy Show - Season 5 - Eps 12: Lucy and the Monkey
Lucy is overworked, between the work that she's neglected and having to sell tickets for a benefit for the bank. Mary Jane warns that Lucy will have a nervous breakdown if she's not careful, but Lucy initially blows off this comment -- but she later thinks she's been hallucinating when she enters Mr. Mooney's office and finds a monkey, who's part of the benefit show, sitting at Mooney's desk. Lucy thinks she's been seeing Mr. Mooney as a monkey, so it's off to the psychiatrist's office, who gives her this advice: ""Face your fear and it will disappear."" So on her next encounter with the simian, she treats him as if he's Mooney... which gets confusing as Mooney and the monkey simultaneously enter and exit the room...

Synopsis
The Lucy Show is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from 1962–68. It was Lucille Ball's follow-up to I Love Lucy. A significant change in cast and premise for the 1965–66 season divides the program into two distinct eras; aside from Ball, only Gale Gordon, who joined the program for its second season, remained. For the first three seasons, Vivian Vance was the co-star. The earliest scripts were entitled The Lucille Ball Show, but when this title was declined, producers thought of calling the show This Is Lucy or The New Adventures of Lucy, before deciding on the title The Lucy Show. Ball won consecutive Emmy Awards as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for the series' final two seasons, 1966–67 and 1967–68.
